Description of the Invention: [Technical Field] The present invention relates to a backlight assembly and a display device therewith. More specifically, the present invention relates to a backlight assembly capable of reducing the total device thickness and improving brightness uniformity, and a display device having the same. The present application is based on the priority of the Korean Patent Application No. 2008-81970, filed on Jan. 21, 2008, the entire disclosure of which is hereby incorporated by reference. [Prior Art] In general, a liquid crystal display (LCD) is a display device that displays an image using optical characteristics of a liquid crystal cell. Since lcd is a non-emissive device, it displays an image by receiving light from a backlight assembly provided behind the rear surface of the liquid crystal display panel. The backlight assembly is classified into a direct illumination type backlight assembly according to the position of the light source _ and the edge illumination type backlight assembly. The direct illumination type backlight assembly directly illuminates the entire surface of the liquid crystal display panel by using a light source positioned behind the liquid crystal display panel. The backlight assembly typically includes a plurality of light sources to ensure a higher brightness than the brightness of the edge-lit backlight assembly. The direct illumination type backlight assembly includes a light-emitting or multi-lamp and a diffusion plate that is provided before the lamps to diffuse light emitted from the lamps. One of the disadvantages of the direct illumination type backlight assembly is that its light has a non-uniform brightness distribution. In other words, the area of the backlight assembly that is close (e.g., overlapped) to the lamp is brighter than the area of the backlight assembly that is not so close to the area of the lamp 141923.doc 201020629 (e.g., between two adjacent lamps). This non-uniform brightness distribution degrades the brightness uniformity of light from the direct illumination type backlight assembly. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Accordingly, the exemplary embodiments of the present invention provide a (four) backlight assembly that is capable of reducing a total thickness and improving brightness uniformity. Another exemplary embodiment of the present invention also provides a display device having the backlight assembly. In an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, a backlight assembly includes a plurality of lamps and a diffusion plate. The lights are arranged to emit light. The diffusing plate is configured to receive and diffuse the light emitted from the lamps, and has a first region and a second region, the first region being overlapped with the lamps and the second region being overlapped with the lights The space between the lights. The diffusing plate includes a first diffusion pattern and a second diffusion pattern. The first diffusion patterns are formed in the first region at a first density and are formed in the second region at a second density. The second density is lower than the first density. The second diffusion patterns are formed in the first region at a third density and are formed in the second region at a fourth density lower than the third density. In this case, the ratio of the first density to the second density and the ratio of the third density to the fourth density are different. In another aspect, the invention is a display device comprising a display panel and a backlight assembly. The display panel uses light to display an image. The backlight assembly is provided behind the display panel to supply the light to the display panel. The backlight assembly includes a plurality of lamps and a diffusing plate. The lights are arranged to emit light. The diffuser plate is provided to receive and diffuse light emitted from the lamps 141923.doc -4 - 201020629 and has a -first region and a second region. The first region overlaps the lights and the second region overlaps the space between the lights. The diffusing plate includes a first diffusing pattern and a second diffusing pattern. The first diffusing pattern is formed on the diffusing plate to have a first density in the first region and a second density in the second region that is lower than the first density. The second diffusion pattern is formed on the diffuser plate to have a third density in the first region and a fourth density in the second region that is lower than the third density. In this case, the ratio of the first density to the second density and the ratio of the second selectivity to the fourth density are different. A diffusing pattern that causes contrast inversion and a diffusing pattern that does not cause contrast inversion are arranged in an alternating manner along one of the longitudinal directions of the lamps on one of the diffusing plates facing the surfaces of the lamps. Thus, a difference in luminance between the first region and the second region can be reduced to thereby improve the brightness uniformity of light emitted from the backlight assembly. The above and other advantages of the present invention will become apparent from the following detailed description. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. 1 is a cross-sectional view showing an exemplary embodiment of a backlight assembly in accordance with the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a schematic plan view showing a diffusing plate showing the density of the first and second printed patterns. Referring to Figures 1 and 2, the backlight assembly 1 includes a plurality of lamps u, a diffusing plate 120, an optical sheet 13A, and a reflecting plate i4. 141923.doc -5- 201020629 The lamps 110 are spaced apart from each other by a predetermined interval and are arranged in parallel with each other. Each lamp 110 can include a cold cathode tube fluorescent lamp. A diffuser plate 120 is provided above the lamp 110 to diffuse through the bottom surface of the diffuser plate 12 and output light from the lamp 110. The diffusion plate 120 is divided into a first area A1 that receives a relatively large amount of light and a second area A2 that receives less light. In detail, in the diffusion plate 120, the first area A1 in which the lamp 110 is located receives a large amount of light, and the second area A2 between the two adjacent lamps 11A receives less light. The difference in luminance between the first area A1 and the second area A2 changes according to the ratio of the second distance d2 to the first distance d1. As shown in Fig. 1, the first distance d1 represents the distance between the bottom surface of the diffusing plate 120 and the center of the lamp no, and the first distance d2 represents the distance between the centers of the two adjacent lamps 11A. In other words, if the ratio of the second distance d2 to the first distance di is increased, the luminance difference between the first area A1 and the second area A2 is increased. Therefore, the brightness uniformity of the backlight assembly 100 is deteriorated. However, recently, the backlight assembly 100 has become thinner, thereby placing a physical limit on the first distance d 1 . As a result, the second distance d2 between the centers of the two adjacent lamps has been increased to at least about four times the first distance d 1 between the bottom surface of the diffusing plate 12 and the center of the lamp 11 . In order to reduce the luminance difference of the light from the first area A1 and the second area A2 (even if the ratio of the second distance d2 to the first distance d1 is increased), the first diffusion pattern 151 and the second diffusion pattern 152 are provided according to The bottom surface of the diffusion plate 120 of the present exemplary embodiment. The first diffusing pattern 151 and the second diffusing pattern 152 include white ink including titanium dioxide (Ti〇2), and are printed on the bottom surface of the diffusing plate 120 substantially simultaneously at 141923.doc -6 - 201020629. The first diffusion pattern i5i and the second diffusion pattern 152 are arranged on the bottom surface of the diffusion plate 120 in the longitudinal direction of the lamp (four) in an alternating manner. The seventh impression pattern 151 has a first density in the first area A1 and a second density lower than the first density in the first area A2. The second diffuse (four) case 152 has a third density in the first region illusion and has a fourth density in the second region A2 that is lower than the third density. As used herein, "φ" refers to the area occupied by the diffusing pattern for the diffusing plate 120 per unit area. The ratio of the first density to the second density and the ratio of the third density to the fourth density are different. In the present exemplary embodiment, the ratio of the first density to the second density may be less than the ratio of the third density to the fourth density. At the same time, the optical sheet 130 is provided above the diffusion plate 12A to diffuse and collect the light from the diffusion plate 120, so that brightness uniformity, viewing angle and front brightness can be improved. Therefore, due to the optical sheet 3, light having improved characteristics such as brightness uniformity, viewing angle, and front luminance is supplied to a display panel (not shown). The reflection plate 140 is provided behind the lamp 110 to reflect the light leaking from the lamp n to the diffusion plate 120, so that the optical efficiency of the backlight assembly 100 can be improved. The reflecting plate 140 includes a reflective material having a high reflectance (for example, aluminum (A1)). Further, both ends of the reflecting plate 14 are bent toward the diffusing plate 12 to efficiently reflect the light emitted from the outermost lamp in the lamp 110 to the diffusing plate 120. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the brightness of the edge extending along the diffusion plate 12 which is parallel to the lamp 〇 from being degraded. 141923.doc 201020629 FIG. 3 is a graph showing the luminance distribution in the first area A1 and the second area A2 shown in FIG. 2. In FIG. 3, the first curve G1 indicates the luminance distribution ' of the light before the light passes through the diffusion plate 120' and the second curve G2 indicates that the light has passed through the diffusion plate 120 having the first diffusion pattern 151. The brightness distribution of light. The third curve indicates the luminance distribution ' of the light after the light has passed through the diffusion plate 120 having the second diffusion pattern 152 and the fourth curve G4 indicates that the light has passed through the first diffusion pattern 151 having the alternate arrangement and The brightness distribution of the light after the diffusion plate 120 of the second diffusion pattern 152. Referring to the first curve G1, the light has a luminance distribution in the form of a sine wave before the light passes through the diffusion plate 12〇. In detail, the highest brightness of the light is shown at the center of the first area A1 where the lamp 110 is positioned, and the lowest brightness of the light is displayed at the center of the second area A2 between the two adjacent lamps 110. Before the light passes through the diffusing plate 120, it has a luminance distribution in a range of about 180 nits to about 260 nits which is higher than the range of the light distribution of the light that has passed through the diffusing plate 丨2〇. Further, before the light passes through the diffusion plate 120, it has a luminance difference of about 70 nit between the center of the first area A1 and the center of the second area A2. Referring to the second graph G2, the light having passed through the diffusing plate 120 having the first diffusing pattern ι51 has a luminance distribution in the form of a sine wave. In other words, the highest brightness of the light is displayed at the center of the first area A1 where the lamp 110 is positioned, and the lowest brightness of the light is displayed at the center of the second area A2 between the two adjacent lamps 11A. Therefore, when the brightness of the light is measured from the diffusion plate 120 having the first diffusion pattern 151, the brightness of the light in the second region A2 is higher than that of the diffusion plate 120 having the first diffusion pattern ι51. The brightness of light in 141923.doc 201020629 in a region A1 is low. In the case of the first diffusion pattern 151, since the difference between the first density and the second density does not exceed a threshold ratio, contrast inversion does not occur. "Contrast inversion" is a case when the light in the second area A2 becomes brighter than that in the first area Λ1. If the first density is not sufficiently different from the second density, then the ratio of the first density to the second density is lower than the threshold ratio at which contrast inversion occurs. Comparing the first curve G1 with the second curve G2, it can be seen that the light passing through the diffusing plate 120 has a luminance distribution of about 140 nits to about 180 nits lower than the luminance distribution obtained before the light passes through the diffusing plate 120. . The second curve 〇2 is examined, and it is also seen that the difference in luminance between the center of the first area A1 and the center of the second area A2 is only about 20 nits, which is lower than the difference in brightness obtained before the light passes through the diffusion plate 120. . Meanwhile, referring to the third curve G3, the light having passed through the diffusion plate 120 having the second diffusion pattern ι52 has the lowest brightness at the center of the first region of the gossip where the lamp 110 is positioned, and at two adjacent lamps. The center of the second area A2 between 110 has the highest brightness. In other words. When the brightness of the light is measured from the diffusing plate 120 having the second diffusing pattern 152, the brightness in the first area A1 is higher than the second area A2 above the diffusing plate 120 having the second diffusing pattern 152. The brightness in the middle is low. This reversal of the relative brightness of the first area A1 and the second area A2 indicates that contrast inversion has occurred. As shown in Fig. 2, in the case of the second diffusion pattern i 52, since the difference between the third density and the fourth density exceeds the threshold ratio, the light emitted from the first region A1 is significantly diffused. Therefore, the brightness 141923.doc -9- 201020629 in the second area A2 becomes higher than the contrast in the first area A1. However, as shown in FIG. 2, if the first diffusion pattern 151 and the second diffusion pattern 152 are alternately arranged on the diffusion plate 12A along the longitudinal direction of the lamp 11A, the diffusion plate 120 has been passed through. The light has a brightness distribution in the form of a fourth curve g4. The fourth curve G4 is based on the average of the second curve (52 and the third curve G3. As a result, the difference in luminance between the center of the first area A1 and the center of the second area A2 is reduced to about 〇 nit, and The brightness uniformity of the light that has passed through the diffusing plate 120 can be improved. As shown in Fig. 3, the light leaving from the diffusing plate 120 having the first diffusing pattern or the second diffusing pattern 152 has The luminance distribution in the form of a sine wave 'so the density of the first diffusion pattern 151 and the second diffusion pattern 152 can be reduced to the sine function shown in Equation 1. Equation 1 In Equation 1, Rpe one It is the periodic random value of the sine wave and the phase random value of the sine wave. In the case of the animal case, the periodic random value Rperiod can range from 〇.1 to the advertising machine $tn field false period periodic value.

(!) The density of the first diffusion pattern 151 and the second diffusion pattern 152 is adjusted. Figure 4 is a view showing the density of a printed pattern based on a ratio of a phase random value to a periodic random value. In detail, Fig. 4 shows printing when the phase random value is increased in the order of 0.0, 0.4, 0.8, 1. 2, 1. 6, 2.0, 2. 4, and 2.8 in a state where the periodic random value is fixed to 〇1. The density of the pattern. In detail, as shown in FIG. 4, 'the first block 131 represents the density of the printed pattern when the ratio of the phase random value to the periodic random value is '' and the second block 132 represents the phase random value and the periodic random value. The density of the printed pattern at a ratio of 4. The third block 133 represents the density of the printed pattern when the ratio of the phase random value to the periodic random value is 8, and the fourth block 134 represents the density of the printed pattern when the ratio of the phase random value to the periodic random value is 12. . The fifth block 135 represents the density of the printed pattern when the ratio of the phase random value to the periodic random value is 16, and the sixth block 136 represents the density of the printed pattern when the ratio of the phase random value to the periodic random value is 20. . Further, the seventh block 137 represents the density of the printed pattern when the ratio of the phase random value to the periodic random value is 24 and the eighth block 138 represents the printed pattern when the ratio of the phase random value to the periodic random value is 28. The density. Further, the white portion of the first block 13 to the eighth block 138 of FIG. 4 indicates a region where the density of the printed pattern is relatively high, and the black portion of the first block to the eighth block 138 indicates the density of the printed pattern. Relatively low area. As shown in FIG. 4, as the ratio of the phase random value to the periodic random value 141923.doc 201020629 decreases from 28 to 〇, the white portion is concentrated in the first region A1 where the lamp 11 定位 is located and the black portion is concentrated on Two adjacent lamps 11 的 between the second area A2. Therefore, as the ratio of the phase random value to the periodic random value decreases, the probability that the luminance in the second region A2 becomes higher than the luminance of the first region A1 + can be increased. Conversely, as the ratio of the phase random value to the periodic random value increases from 〇 to 28, the white portion is less concentrated in the first region A1 and dispersed into the second region A2. Therefore, if the ratio of the phase random value to the periodic random value increases, the probability that the luminance in the second region A2 becomes higher than the luminance in the first region gossip can be reduced. In the present exemplary embodiment, the phase causing the contrast inversion is selected by measuring the brightness of the light from the diffusion plate 12 while decreasing the ratio of the phase random value to the periodic random value from 28 to 〇. The ratio of random values to periodic random values. If the threshold value of the ratio of the phase random value causing the contrast inversion to the periodic random value is determined, the printed pattern having a value smaller than the threshold value is selected as the second diffusion pattern 152, and the selection has a larger than the threshold value. The printed pattern of values is taken as the first diffusing pattern 1 51. 5A is a view showing a simulation of a second diffusion pattern 152 that causes contrast inversion, FIG. 5B is a view showing a simulation of a first diffusion pattern that does not cause contrast inversion, and FIG. 5C is a view showing when using A view of the simulation of the first and second diffusing patterns. In detail, FIG. 5A shows a first diffusing pattern 152 having a periodic random value 〇1 and a phase random value ι 2, and FIG. 5B shows a first diffusing pattern 15 having a periodic random value and a phase random value of 2.4. FIG. 5A and Figure dip shows the second distance between the center of the two 141923.doc 201020629 lights 11 目, the main two.

The simulation result of the shot pattern 151. As shown in Fig. 5A, if the ratio of the phase random value to the periodic random value is set to 12, the white portion is concentrated in the first-region illusion, and the black portion is concentrated in the second region A2. Therefore, the contrast in the second area A2 becomes higher than the contrast in the first area A1.

Therefore, the brightness uniformity of the light that has passed through the diffusion plate 12 can be improved. Figure 6 is a side elevational view showing an exemplary embodiment of a liquid crystal display according to the present invention. In FIG. 6, the same reference numerals denote the same elements in the drawings, and thus detailed descriptions of the same elements will be omitted. Referring to FIG. 6, a liquid crystal display includes: a liquid crystal display panel 21A that uses light to display an image; and a backlight assembly i that is provided under the liquid crystal display panel 210 to supply light to the liquid crystal display panel 2 J Hey. The liquid crystal display panel 210 includes a thin film transistor substrate 211, a color filter substrate 212 facing the thin film transistor substrate 211, and a liquid crystal layer 141923 interposed between the thin film transistor substrate 211 and the color filter substrate 212. .doc -13· 201020629 (not shown). The thin film transistor substrate 211 includes pixels arranged in a matrix and which are arranged in a matrix. Each pixel includes a thin film transistor and a pixel electrode. The color filter substrate 212 includes a color pixel (which represents a predetermined color by light passing through the color pixel) and a common electrode formed on the color pixel while facing the pixel electrode. The backlight assembly 100 includes a lamp 110, a diffusion plate 120, an optical sheet 13A, and a reflection plate 140. The lamps 110 are spaced apart from each other by a predetermined interval, and are arranged in parallel with each other to emit light. The diffusion plate 120 is provided above the lamp 110 to diffuse through the bottom surface of the diffusion plate 12 and output light from the lamp 11(). In order to reduce the difference in luminance between the first area A1 and the second area Α2 of the diffusion plate 120, the first diffusion pattern 151 and the second diffusion pattern 152 are alternately arranged in the longitudinal direction of the lamp u〇 in the diffusion direction. One of the surfaces of the panel 12 (e.g., facing the surface of the lamp). The first/man image 151 has a first density in the first area A1 and a second density in the second area A2 which is lower than the first density. The second diffusion pattern 〇 152 has a third density in the first region gossip and a fourth duty in the second region A2 where the first to the male is low. In the present exemplary embodiment, the ratio of the first density to the second density is less than the ratio of the third density to the fourth density. Further, the ratio of the first degree to the second density is higher than a predetermined threshold ratio, and the ratio of the second density to the fourth density is lower than the threshold ratio. As used herein, the "threshold ratio" is that when the brightness of the light is measured from the diffusion plate 12A, the brightness of the light in the second area A2 begins to become larger than the first area 141923.doc •14·201020629 The boundary value of the light intensity in A1. Therefore, in the portion of the diffusion plate 12 that has the first diffusion pattern 151, the light in the first region gossip is brighter than in the second region A2, and the diffusion plate 12 has the second diffusion. In the portion of the pattern 152, the light in the first area A1 is not as bright as the light in the second area A2. The light leaving the diffusing plate 120 has a temperature which is about the average of the brightness of the light that has passed through the first diffusing pattern 151 and the light that has passed through the second diffusing pattern 152. Therefore, the difference in luminance between the center of the first area A1 and the center of the second area A2 has been measured to be about 10 nits. Therefore, the brightness uniformity of the light from the diffusion plate 120 can be improved. According to the backlight assembly and the display device having the backlight assembly, the diffusion pattern causing the contrast inversion and the diffusion pattern not causing the contrast inversion are alternately arranged on the bottom surface of the diffusion plate in the longitudinal direction of the lamp. Therefore, the difference in luminance between the first region where the lamp is positioned and the second region between two adjacent lamps can be reduced. Therefore, the brightness uniformity of light emitted from the backlight assembly can be improved.
